Adelaide will be feeling confident they can return to the winners list on Sunday when they take on Sydney at the Quay Centre after the Lightning took a convincing 17-point win over the Flames at home in round 4.
Both teams sit on 3 wins, have had to replace players due to injury and are playing under new head coaches in Aja Parham-Ammar (Adelaide) and Renee Garlepp (Sydney) who was elevated from Assistant Coach a role she held under former Head Coach Guy Malloy for the last 3 years.
Sydney’s Lauren Nicholson, 18.0 points per game 5th sits just above Senia Feagan 6th with 17.8 on the PPG league leaders list. With so much to play for, both will need to be firing for their respective teams in what is sure to be a battle.
The Lightning will need to be at their best to win away from home and interim coach Parham-Ammar shared following the 5-point loss to Canberra they had been inconsistent but have been working on some things and are getting better. Could this be the game it all clicks for the Lightning?
